KERN-5 - Ubuntu 18.04

A new version of KERN is released roughly every 6 months and is based on the latest Ubuntu LTS release.
The current
release of KERN is KERN-5 and is based on Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic). To enable the KERN-5 repository on a
Ubuntu 18.04
system run:

Docker and singularity

We have added a docker-apt-install command to the image which is a wrapper around apt-get to first
fetch the package list of the Ubuntu archive, install the requested package and finally clean up the
temporary cache. This keeps the Docker image small.
You can also bootstrap a Singularity image using the Docker image:

Older releases

The old releases are KERN-0 for Ubuntu 14.04, KERN-1, KERN-2 and KERN-3 for Ubuntu 16.04. These releases have
reached end of live and are not supported anymore. You can still use them though, also inside Docker
containers.
